Windows SQL Server 2016
Microsoft SQL Server 2016 turns your mission-critical applications into intelligent applications with in-memory performance and advanced analytics built in.
Build intelligent, mission-critical applications using a scalable, hybrid database platform that has everything built in—from in-memory performance and advanced security to in-database analytics.
- Industry leading - Build mission-critical, intelligent apps for online transaction processing (OLTP) with breakthrough scalability, performance, and availability.
- Advanced security - Protect data at rest and in motion. SQL Server is the least vulnerable database for six years running in the NIST vulnerabilities database.
- In-database advanced analytics - Analyze data directly within the SQL Server database—without moving the data—using R, the popular statistics language. Deliver insights on any device—online or offline—at one-fifth the cost of other self-service solutions.
- Made for hybrid cloud - Get a consistent platform and tooling for easier workload mobility between your datacenter, private cloud, or Microsoft Azure
